The Prankster. Content Warning.
Everything was perfect when the doorbell rang, and Chloe went to answer it. Her parents were out of town, the Doordash order was on its way, and, assuming no unexpected guests had come to crash her girls’ night with Jessica, the two of them were going to have a wonderful time. “Hey,” Jessica said as she hurried into the house, glad to be out of the late March air. As soon as Chloe had shut the door, she held up the bag of food. “I ran into your DoorDash driver on my way in. Talk about a real creep.” Amused by her best friend, Chloe rolled her eyes and turned the deadbolt on the door. “I know, right?” she replied before glancing out the thin curtains to check to see if the car was still outside. “Some guy named Matt… He keeps showing up every time I order from the app. I think I’ll switch to GrubHub instead.” Ignoring her, Jessica hurried to the couch and set the bag of food down on the coffee table before placing her overnight bag on the couch. “Personally, I prefer to pick up the food myself,” she retorted with a hint of pride in her voice. “Ever since Mom and Dad bought me the car, I’ve been driving everywhere. I like being free to do practically anything I want.” As if on cue, her phone buzzed, and she groaned in annoyance as she checked it. “Well, almost…” Confused, Chloe stared at her friend as she started to text. “Your mom?” she asked, and Jessica nodded in response, her eyes glued to the screen. Jessica's family seemed like the perfect family on the outside, but, on the inside, her parents were overprotective and extremely controlling. They made their daughter keep a tracking app on her phone and always insisted on Jessica checking in with them anytime she left the house. Usually, they seemed okay when Chloe was around, but that was because they saw Chloe as the super responsible type who didn't need any supervision, but they preferred to know when Jessica had made it to Chloe's house safely. Chloe's parents were the exact opposite. After the divorce, they left Chloe to fend for herself, only getting involved if she needed intervention with the school or money to keep herself occupied. Neither house she went to seemed truly like home, especially since Chloe craved the loving attention Jessica got from her parents, but Chloe never needed to do more than ask for whatever she needed. “Anyways, have you heard what everyone at school’s been talking about?” Jessica asked as she sat down on the couch and started to go through the food bag. Chloe scoffed as she sat down next to her. “I don't really pay attention to school drama,” she reminded Jessica. “Ever since Jamie and Cory started all those rumors after I turned Nick down, I decided to ignore everyone.” Finding her part of the DoorDash order, Jessica shrugged and popped open the takeout container. “I still don't know why you turned him down,” she said between bites of food. “I mean, he's drop-dead gorgeous, and he's one of the most popular guys in school. He could have helped you reassimilate into the school so that everyone would stop treating you like an outcast.” When Chloe didn't respond, Jessica waved a hand dismissively at her. “Anyways, that's not the point… Everyone keeps talking about some make-believe serial killer called The Prankster.” Immediately, Chloe shuddered.

Midnight Whispers
**Midnight Whispers** The small town of Ashford was known for its quiet streets and friendly people. But deep within the forest that bordered the town, an old house sat in ruins—forgotten by time, yet never truly abandoned. The locals called it the Whispering House, for those who wandered too close on certain nights claimed to hear voices drifting through the trees, calling their names in hushed tones.

Grim Reaper, Is That You?. Top Story - March 2025. Content Warning.
“That should teach her a lesson!” Paolo grinned as he admired the threat he had sent. “Teach who a lesson?” Paolo screamed like a little girl as he fell off his chair. He looked up and there It was, looming over him, waiting for an answer. He stared Its skeletal face under that black hood and the scythe Its bony fingers were wrapped around. “Oh no, is it my time to go?” “Not sure what you are talking about but I want to know who did you teach a lesson to. You were looking pretty smug”, It answered. Paolo eyed It cautiously as he returned to his seat, “Just some rando on the internet. Bitch had it coming.” “So you decided to harass her with a death and rape threat? What did she do to you?” “She laughed at a Facebook post.” “Was it your post?” “Well no, but—” “Then it is not your place to ‘teach her a lesson.’” “No, you don’t get it. The post was about Lorena Bobbitt. She cut off her husband’s dick while he was sleeping, drove off with it and threw it into a field!” “I am fully aware of this case. She was abused physically, emotionally, and sexually by her husband. She finally snapped one day and did what she did. I am not condoning it, but to use your words, he had it coming. “He directly did those things to her, so she directly did that to him. On the other hand, you got triggered by a random girl laughing at a post that was not even yours to begin with. She laughed because karma got him. That is acceptable.” “So what, I should’ve just ignored it?” Paolo scoffed. “Yes, that is what any sane person would have done. Look at you, picking fights with strangers on the internet, and then blocking them before they could respond. A coward and a sore loser. Pathetic!” Paolo shrugged, “I guess it doesn’t matter now since you’re here for me.” “Again, I am not sure what you are talking about.” Its bony fingers clamped over Paolo’s lips and with one swift motion, sliced them off with Its scythe. Paolo screamed and clutched his mouth as blood gushed through his fingers. “What kinda Grim Reaper are you? I thought you only collect souls!” he wailed. It held Paolo’s severed lips between two fingers and playfully squished them together. “Grim Reaper? Ha! I am the Grin Ripper. When I see anyone grin for the wrong reasons, I rip it out!” __________________________________________
